If You Can Imagine Your Boat As A Thermos Bottle, Them You Will Be Able To Picture What Would Happen To The Air Inside If The Thermos Had Holes Drilled In The Outside Part And The Screws Were Not Sealed Properly. Our Boats Are Like A Thermos In That The Bottom And The Deck Are 1 Complete Piece And The Air Part Is Filled With Foam. That's How They Are After They Come Out Of The Oven. Every Screw, On Your Boat Penetrates This Foam Area And In Time With The Flexing The Screws May Allow Water To Get To This "inner Foam Area". The Early Logic Models Had Design Issues That Could Allow Water To Enter The Foam Areas Very Easy And The Factory Has Addressed These Issues Each Subsequent Model Year So Well That The New Models May Not Need This Drain . This Is Only My Opinion Based On Owning An '01 Model That Had Alot Of Water Intrusion To Reading Vics Post That States That He Dosent See Any Water , But Has The Drain As A Means To Know In Time If Water Ever Starts To Migrate There
Even The Plastic Drain Plug We Elect To Install To Drain The Water Could Actually Allow Water To Enter The Foam Area If The Gasket Were To Ever Fail ,so It Is A Double Edge Sword On This Mod. I Intend To Replace The Plastic Sea Dog Plug My Dealer Put On With A Brass Garboard Style That Uses A Brass Plug Just To Insure No Water Will Ever Enter The Foam Area From The Outside.
I Hope Randy Thought To Take A Picture Of The Cut Away Section On Display At The Mackfest . It Will Give You Guys A Better Picture Of How These Boats Are Made
I Will Be Happy To Answer Any Further Questions On This --just Ask
Oh, Welcome To The Family And Remember The Benifits Of These Boats Design And Ride Far Outweigh The Things We Can Do As Owners To Correct Any Issues Not Covered By The Warranty.
